Tesla Has Sent Over 1,000 Ventilators to Hospitals Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company has
donated ventilators to at least 50 hospitals
around the country and overseas. Musk said the shipments
were based on 'direct requests'
from hospital ICU wards. It has been reported that some California
hospitals received bilevel positive airway
pressure units instead of ventilators. Ventilators are a crucial tool in treating
COVID-19 since the disease can cause
severe respiratory problems. These machines, sometimes called respirators, move air through the lungs for patients who have trouble breathing.
